Apprentices
[edit]The list of apprentices seems highly speculative and in many cases doubtful. Are there any references to list actual apprentices?--Rick21784 (talk) 21:48, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- agreed apprentices the wrong word, inspired / influenced better and nearer the truth. The list needs a clean up Obadiah Gardner for example went to an american politician born 139 years after Tompion's death.......Edmund Patrick – confer 06:17, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- Robert Paterson also wrong so moved list to here for checking prior to returning to article what is left!
Tompion's apprentices included George Allett, Edward Banger, Henry Callowe (Callot), Daniel Delander, Richard Emes, Ambrose Gardner, William Graham (nephew of George Graham), Whitestone Littlemore, Jeremiah Martin, Charles Molins (Molyns), William Mourlay, Charles Murray, Charles Sypson, William Thompson, James Tunn, and Thomas White, many of whom became important clockmakers and workmen in their own right.

- I will add bare references to found apprentices until move to article. Daniel Delander http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=88597
Edward Banger (but see below) partner not apprentice; http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=78135 though listed here (reliable?) as apprentice; http://www.walwynantiqueclocks.com/clock-news/a-biography-of-thomas-tompion%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%99s-first-partner-edward-banger-2861 George Harrison, Jeremiah Martin, Richard Street Edward Banger and Whitestone Littlemore listed as apprentices here; http://www.gaubertgenealogy.freeola.org/gaubertimages/Legal/THE%20CLOCKMAKERS%20COMPANY.pdf George Allett, Henry Callowe (Callot) Richard Emes cannot find any ref. Ambrose Gardner, William Graham (nephew of George Graham) both clockmakers but no reference except original which has no references.
- Note; all these people are listed in this ebook https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=lU24AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA38&lpg=PA38&dq=George+Allett,&source=bl&ots=2QX96QjIq4&sig=e7bZ86u-FSHqPpMdkerTQHaV44w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjwjPXI3obZAhXBAMAKHZntD7oQ6AEIOzAF#v=onepage&q=George%20Allett%2C&f=false including George Harrison, no not that one!!
